May 21-22 Rudyard Lake
This rally will follow the usual informal format where people just turn up and sail: some sleep on board afloat or hauled out, some camp nearby, others stay in B&B. We expect some participants will just be day sailing. Adjacent to the Activity Centre on the lake there is a small patch of sloping field on which DCA members may camp. It is close to the toilet block. However vehicles cannot drive onto it, so campers would have to park nearby to unload then return the car to the car park. The field is on quite a slope meaning it is more suitable for small tents able to fit on a small level area. Also there is a small patch of sandy beach in a corner of the dam wall suitable for drying out/ beaching for sleeping aboard. |
